Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Gletcher NGT Silver CO2 BB Revolver is nice and crisp in both single and double action. There is virtually no trigger wiggle and the trigger pull is decent in double action while much longer and of course nice and light in single action as expected. You will want to pre-cock the hammer for accurate single action shooting but have the option of shooting double action for any action shooting you may want to do. Keep in mind you will have to individually reload each round.

Accuracy: I have not done any shooting so far with this Gletcher revolver due to some pretty awful weather conditions. I expect it will shoot nice since it has a fairly long sight radius and the open iron sights are conducive to precise shooting.

Build Quality: The Gletcher NGT Silver CO2 BB Revolver is really well made. You can tell by its solid weight for a fairly small pistol, all of the mechanical parts feel smooth and responsive. Everything that would be metal on the real M1895 Revolver is metal including the solid one piece cylinder. Yes, the grips are imitation wood, but this is to be expected. The sliver finish looks great and I like the black contrasting parts that really highlight this gun.

Realism: I have not had the opportunity to actually put my hands on a real steel Nagant M1895 Revolver but from the photos I have viewed online, the Gletcher NGT Silver is very accurate in terms of being a BB replica. Of course the shells fit steel BBs internally and the barrel has been downscaled to shoot 4.5mm steel BBs but other than that it is very difficult to tell it from a real Nagant M1895 Revolver. Even the barrel opening is recessed and looks true to scale for the original rounds used in this revolver and you can remove the one piece cylinder similar to the real version.

Pros:

Beautiful silver finish.

Very solid and weighty gun.

Hammer and trigger actions are very crisp, virtually no wiggle.

CO2 is well hidden.

Recessed barrel looks great.

7 round cylinders instead of 6 like the other shell loading.

Cylinder can be removed.

Shoots in both signal and double action.

Grip is nice and small so great for shooters with small.

Shooting performance pros yet to be determined…

Cons:

Non-adjustable sights. (Perhaps like original)

No speed loading on this one, one shell at a time, so make your shots count.

Shooting performance cons yet to be determined…

Comments: The Gletcher NGT Silver CO2 BB Revolver is yet another addition of shell loading revolvers like the Dan Wesson and KWC 357 based revolvers, with the exception that the Gletcher NGT is more of a blast from the past and even though it comes in at a much more compact size, it holds an additional round! Another noteworthy point is the fact that Gletcher has somehow figured out a way to reduce the CO2 release valve giving the Gletcher NGT a more true to scale frame size: I am talking about the distance between the hammer and the cylinder. This allows for a more realistic and true to dimension replica which in this classic revolver is super important.

One of the better revolvers

This is my first Gletcher branded product, not sure who actually makes the Nagant but the workmanship is very good. It's a much smaller framed pistol than most and the balance seems much better than the long barreled Dan Wesson and Colt Pythons so it's easy to hold on target and quite accurate. The sights really work for me too. I have just recently got into revolvers but have to say that the whole shooting experience, loading each shell etc seems more enjoyable than blasting away with an eighteen round magazine. It makes you take your time and concentrate more on each shot. All in all the Gletcher Nagant provides a very pleasant shooting experience.

nice piece

this is my second gletcher pistol , I picked it up because I was so impressed with the gletcher TTthat I bought . very high quality , the fit & finish is outstanding. it is field strippable. this is a 7 shot revolver which is kind of neat ,the trigger is very light on single action. overall I am very pleasedwith the quality of gletcher products

I always like getting and shooting the airguns I review and the Gletcher NGT CO2 BB Revolver was no disappointment! The Gletcher NGT is a fairly small air revolver and so pretty much anyone should be abel to shoot this air pistol even if you have smaller hands, I did find that pre-cocking the hammer for single action shooting was a bit of a stretch when reaching over with the thumb, but you can just as easily shoot in double action, both trigger pulls are nice and light with the double action being a bit longer.

Loading the 7 round cylinder will take longer than your standard stick magazine BB pistol since you first need to pop some 4.5mm Steel BB's into each shell and then individually load each shell into the Gletcher's metal cylinder while you index it.

In terms of FPS performance, the Gletcher NGT Silver CO2 BB Revolver shot right about where I thought it would shoot getting about a 342 fps average 7 shot velocity. Claimed is up to 350 so the NGT hit it's marks in this category even on a rather cool day. I found that the little Gletcher NGT had a pretty loud crack to it and could even feel a small amount of push back with each shot.

I really felt comfortable using the rather old school fixed open post and notch sights, the sliver finish on the white background of the targets I was using did make it a bit tuff to line up but I was able to get a pretty nice close to 2 inch grouping that was very well centered on target. the Gletcher NGT Revolver would be great for knocking pop cans off of fence posts :)

I would definitely recommend the Gletcher NGT CO2 BB Revolver in either silver or black, what ever your preference? Not only is it a real looker but it also has the performance to back it's looks.

I already made several review videos for both Gletcher NGT (4.5mm Steel BB) and the Gletcher NGT R (.177 Cal Pellet) Revolvers, including table top and shooting videos. So make sure to check those videos out for more information on both versions of Gletcher NGT and NGT R Revolvers.

I did however miss some noteworthy details that I wanted to cover in this video. Firstly, the real steal Nagant M1895 Revolver this Gletcher NGT is styled after has a very unique gas-sealing system that the Airgun version does not replicate or really require but it is worth mentioning.
